Claiming "mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, anxiety and depression," the victim is seeking unspecified damages against Downing. Also named in the complaint is the Bourbon Street Krystal restaurant at which the incident occurred, with the dispute alleging Krystal "failed to undertake appropriate and reasonable measures to provide safety and security."

Downing turned himself in to New Orleans cops months ago, but he's yet to be charged with a crime. It stands to figure the victim's chances at recovering damages hinge somewhat on whether a crime's shown to have occurred; at the same time, NOLA police seem to be busy investigating the 67 murders that have taken place in the Crescent City so far in 2012.
